Description Pedro Sampaio 2021-12-02 12:44:50 UTC 
In ldns before 1.8.0 when the zone file is parsed, the function ldns_nsec3_salt_data is too trusted for the length value obtained from the zone file. When the memcpy is copied, the 0xfe - ldns_rdf_size(salt_rdf) byte data can be copied, causing heap information leakage.
